Overview
- Real Madrid said Monday that tests found a left semitendinosus injury for Kylian Mbappé and that his recovery will be monitored.
- The forward asked to come off in the 81st minute of Friday’s 1-1 draw at Real Betis after feeling pain in his left hamstring.
- Early ultrasound results were described as good by reporters, but an MRI confirmed the hamstring lesion and the club gave no return date.
- His status for the May 10 El Clasico is uncertain, with Spanish outlet El Chiringuito claiming he could miss the season and other reports noting the club still sees a possible return.
- The setback hits a Madrid side 11 points behind Barcelona with five league games left and also prompts France to track his fitness before the World Cup in June.
